"It was extraordinary to find, in the US, the original of one of the central poems in Poet in New York," the professor continued, adding that he "was charmed to think of Lorca, who was a brilliant pianist, keeping archival company with so many great composers".

SELECTED POEMS by LORCA Spain's greatest and most well-loved modern poet, Lorca has long been admired for the emotional intensity and dark brilliance of his work, which drew on music, drama, mythology and the songs of his Andulucian childhood. From the playful "Suites" and stylized "Gypsy Ballads", to his own dark vision of urban life, "Poet in New York", and his elegaic meditation on death, "Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejias"; his range was remarkable. This bilingual edition provides versions by distinguished poets and translators, drawing on every book of poems published by Lorca and on his uncollected works. Realizado por: Mar y Luz Patricia 1ºA
